 When not using a docker container, we recommend using a virtual environment to install AutoGen. This will ensure that the dependencies for AutoGen are isolated from the rest of your system.
 
+You can create a virtual environment with `venv` as below:
 ```bash
 python3 -m venv autogen
 source autogen/bin/activate
 ```
 
+Another option is with `Conda`, Conda works better at solving dependency conflicts than pip. You can install it by following [this doc](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/user-guide/install/index.html),
+and then create a virtual environment as below:
+```bash
+conda create -n autogen python=3.10  # python 3.10 is recommended as it's stable and not too old
+conda activate autogen
+```
+
+Now, you're ready to install AutoGen in the virtual environment you've just created.
